I know the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia had a ST exhibit a while
back. That's a lot of stuff in SJ.
This makes me wonder how much of that Babylon 5 stuff is still around,
as far as models, uniforms, props etc.
Models is a hard one, as TNG used the shooting replica of the
Enterprise-D, and Babylon 5 used CGI, though there were Babylon 5
models sold, it's a bit different as far as the prop thing goes. I
wonder how many PPGs, uniforms, etc. are out there?

Back when JMS was talking about what was available when they were shooting the
Lost Tales, he said that when B5/Crusade closed down they'd turned over huge
racks of costumes and only a few were located for the DVD shoot. A very few
have shown up on Ebay, mostly jumpsuits and shirts. We also know from the Lost
Tales disk that the Starfury cockpit was available and was shipped from LA to
Vancouver for the shoot.
Naturally, the WB and JMS' garage sales on Ebay had quite a number of very
special items but other than those, not a lot of items have shown up that I've
found.

A while back, Amy gathered together several of us to buy a G'Kar prosthetic and
donate it to a museum (Amy? Help me out, I'm drawing a blank on the Museum name
so I can't post a link). I've managed to snag a few items from production and
my (very poor) photos of them can be found at http://photos.b5archivist.com/

What about all the leftover B5 Official Fan Club stuff? Wasn't that all
sold off to one person (George Johnson?). Wish I could find out if any
of the Babylon 5 and *Crusade* Hats were left.

Thanks, Blair! I kept coming up with the Museum of the Motion Picture but that
didn't sound right.
